Michael Dell Calls Gelsinger VMware’s Long-Term CEO

Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell says VMware chief Pat Gelsinger will stay on at the helm of the company, putting to rest speculation that Mr. Gelsinger would leave in the wake of Dell’s $67 billion takeover of VMware and its majority owner EMC.

“Pat is the long-term CEO of VMware. No question,” Mr. Dell said in a text message to The Information Thursday morning. Dell’s purchase of EMC, which owns 81% of VMware, closed last week.
